What survives is a grassed-over stony bank, barely twenty centimetres above the interior surface at its highest point, tracing an arc of roughly forty metres from the east-south-east around to the west-south-west. The rest is gone, or at least invisible, with the northern edge buried beneath a farm laneway. From that point outward, nothing breaks the surface. The estimated original diameter of around thirty-five metres suggests a structure that was once a meaningful presence in the landscape, most likely a ringfort or enclosure of the kind that served as a farmstead or small settlement in early medieval Ireland.

What makes the site quietly interesting is its setting within a cluster of related features. About a hundred metres to the west-south-west lies another enclosure, and roughly two hundred and fifty metres to the north there is an ecclesiastical enclosure together with associated remains. Ecclesiastical enclosures typically mark the boundary of an early monastic or church site, and their presence so close by suggests this corner of Cushacorra was once a more densely occupied and perhaps spiritually significant area than the flat, cleared pastureland now implies. The enclosure at Cushacorra may have been one element of a wider pattern of settlement and religious activity, the majority of which has since been levelled by centuries of agricultural use.
